USA Football's Tackle Progression Model, developed with contributions from USA Football’s Tackle Advisory Committee provides a step-by step approach for coaches to properly teach one of football’s most important skills. The model offers drills to teach each step, beginning in a non-contact environment and progressing to player-to-player contact. The instruction is designed to improve tackling skills, increase safety and limit helmet-to-helmet contact, lessening the chance for injury, including concussion. ​ Please click on the links below to view how this technique should be taught at all levels of Football.
